Old Mr. He was currently consumed with worry over Old Mrs. He's condition. He didn't notice He Gu's unusual emotions and simply nodded, saying, "You may go."
Granted permission, He Gu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and eagerly walked toward the door. Zhang Wan'er, seeing this, curved her lips slightly upward before unhurriedly following him out.
Watching He Gu light a cigarette in the hallway, Zhang Wan'er crossed her arms and leaned against the wall with a languid posture. Her thin lips parted, and she spoke leisurely, "So, how is it? Didn't I tell you long ago that Old Mrs. He's condition was more complicated than you imagined?
Now that people are here, if you can't provide a reasonable diagnosis and solution, you won't be able to latch onto the He family. Plus, I still have leverage over you. It seems you're destined for ruin today!"
Hearing Zhang Wan'er's words, He Gu paused his smoking. He then shot her a venomous look and asked through gritted teeth, "What exactly do you want?"
Zhang Wan'er calmly replied, "Didn't I just bring you the solution? Don't rush. I think you should consider the cooperation we discussed earlier."
"Either way, I'm dead. If you won't let me live well, do you think I'll let you off easily? Don't forget the forces behind me. Since you want to tear down the facade, fine. Today, I'll let the He family elders see your true colors!" He Gu's face contorted into a fierce expression as he uttered these words.
Zhang Wan'er's smile gradually faded. She threatened calmly, "Very well. The fact that I can accompany the He family elders to see a doctor means my relationship with the He family is not ordinary. Do you think they'll believe me or you, with your few words?
I advise you not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. I told you this matter wouldn't implicate you. I'll shift all the blame onto someone else. Haven't you heard the saying, 'Fortune favors the bold'? You've been out long enough. I'll give you three minutes to think it over!"
He Gu took a deep breath, lowered his gaze, and was filled with despair. It seemed his past wrongdoings were finally catching up to him. However, the hospital and his current reputation were all hard-won through unscrupulous means, and he felt a significant reluctance to see them vanish.
After finishing his cigarette, He Gu asked calmly, "I can cooperate with you, but I don't want to be your pawn. If you want to do something, you must reveal your entire plan. If I find out you've lied to me even in the slightest, we're in this together. If I go down, you won't be far behind!"
"Deal!" Zhang Wan'er readily agreed.
Under He Gu's sharp gaze, Zhang Wan'er slowly began, "My uncle and the He family have been good friends for many years. I also knew Chen Lishu's husband in the past. I don't know what tricks Chen Lishu used to snatch away everything that rightfully belonged to me!
Recently, I noticed Chen Lishu is getting along well with the He family because she has her eyes on the He family's fortune. Since the He family elders are friends with my uncle, I naturally need to pay more attention to this matter. Therefore, I plan to use some special methods to reveal Chen Lishu's true face to the He family elders.
Rest assured, once her malicious deeds are exposed, you won't be punished by the He family. In fact, Old Mr. He might even thank you for your assistance. My next plan is for you to put some poison in Old Mrs. He's food. Don't worry, it won't be lethal. Also, interact more with Chen Lishu during this period."
He Gu wasn't sure how much truth there was in Zhang Wan'er's words. He propped his chin with one hand and pondered carefully. A shrewd glint flashed in his eyes. He then raised his head and said, "It's not impossible for me to cooperate with you on these matters, but I have one condition: you must give me 300,000 yuan. I need this to accomplish anything!"
As He Gu spoke, he rubbed his fingers together, making a gesture for money.
Zhang Wan'er observed that he didn't seem to be in lack of money. Since 300,000 yuan was a small price to pay, she readily agreed. Just as she was about to urge He Gu to go in and treat the patient, He Gu raised another demand.
"This 300,000 yuan must be transferred to me instantly. What kind of businessman does business without seeing the money first?"
Hearing He Gu's request, a hint of impatience flickered across Zhang Wan'er's face. Eager to complete the task, she didn't think much of it and took out her phone, transferring 300,000 yuan to He Gu on the spot.
Looking at the money in his phone, He Gu's lips curved upward slightly. He then said expansively, "Alright, I understand. Let's go in."
Just as He Gu turned to leave, Zhang Wan'er grabbed his wrist and said, "Prescribe her more herbs that need to be decocted, and also recommend some health supplements."
Only this way could she find more reasons to enter the courtyard and keep an eye on Chen Lishu's preparations for the competition.
He Gu nodded, not only refraining from breaking free from Zhang Wan'er's grip but also openly raising his hand, as if displaying it for someone to see.
Zhang Wan'er didn't pay it much mind. As long as He Gu tasted a bit of the reward, wouldn't it be incredibly simple to get him to cooperate obediently? All doubts would vanish at that moment.
With their respective thoughts hidden, they returned to the ward.
Upon seeing He Gu's appearance, Old Mr. He eagerly approached him and asked, "Director He, what is my wife's condition? Can you tell me the reasons and the solutions?"
He Gu produced the test report and circled several areas. "I've reviewed Old Mrs. He's examination report, along with the symptoms described by Miss Chen. The primary diagnosis is neurotoxin infection due to extremely low immunity.
In fact, this illness is both easy and difficult to treat. I'll prescribe some medication for you shortly. Have it prepared and take it according to the instructions. Eat well during this period; you must recuperate properly. Only then can we ensure your immunity doesn't plummet further!"
Old Mr. He hadn't held much hope for He Gu, but he was surprised that he had actually identified the problem. Tears welled up in his eyes, and his overwhelming emotion was hard to express!
